Since when was Artosis high masters on KR (unless you mean in the very first few months when everyone was bad). Because I played even back in season 1, when he was high masters NA and I was still a bit higher than him (I was ~3860 so I assume he was around that too). And I don't consider myself to be high masters capable, neither then, now, or ever so far on KR. Well, maybe back in season 1 since everyone was bad.
And actually I assumed you were talking about mid-high masters level of analysis, with the judgement being using NA players. I think that level can be reached in a few months if you spend a lot of time on it and are smart. Might not be able to play at that level that fast unless gifted, but analysis is a different thing. It's just learning a lot of heuristics. You have more of a time delay cushion when recognizing it during analysis than during playing. Furthermore you can focus on the analysis and not worry about the execution, so it's not a big problem if it's not a reflexive decision yet - so you can come to the right decision in decent time, but if it were in game you'd have been fucked cause you were too slow at coming up with the solution etc.
Of course I also stated that doing it while casting requires some additional practice, because casting + analysis is multitasking, though not as dexterously demanding as playing while analysing if you're not 100% certain with the analysis.

diamond was the highest during the first money. It's not that everyone was bad, but the races weren't close to being balanced. If I remember right, artosis was zerg, and fruitdealer's win was complete luck.
